What's your problem?

Really great graphic design only happens when the designers understands the problem. The first thing I concern myself with is the problem, once that's clear, the solution often comes in a flash!

 

Illiterate Concept Book

Objectives

  • Take 100 photographs of the same object (chalk)
  • Use the best of the 100 photographs in a booklet with a text (in my case, two articles on literacy from The Economist) to create a conceptual layout piece

Restraints

  • Dimensions and page count
  • Photographs only to be taken by the designer
  • Photographs must be of the same, preassigned object (chalk, in my case)

Solution

  • Since the object assigned to me was chalk, the texts chosen were about literacy in the developing world.
  • Layout is intended to convey an academic feel with a slight counterculture edge
